Another day, another blog.

Today we went to Guinanayan Island. This is located in the province of Albay, Bicol Region, Philippines.

This island is known for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking landscapes. Making it a popular destination for swimming and photography.

As the sun rose, we packed our bags with towels, sunscreens, and, of course, cameras to capture the memories we were about to create.

After a short boat ride, we finally arrived at the island.

The vibrant blue of the ocean stretched out before us, as we stepped onto the sandy shores.

We wasted no time but raced toward the water.

We splashed and swam as the sunlight danced on the surface of the waves.

We squealed with joy, forgetting all the worries.

After swimming for a while, we decided to take a break.

We took photos against the backdrop of the stunning landscape.

Pictures of playful poses, candid laughter, and the occasional attempt of a serious shot that quickly turned into giggles.

Eager to explore, we ventured around the island, discovering secluded coves.

With each new spot, we captured more memories. Taking turns of one another.

As we finished capturing those memories, we got back to strolling along the shoreline.

We noticed an array of smooth, colorful sea shells and pieces of corals scattered across the sand.

They glimmered in the sunlight, each one unique and beautiful in its own way.

While collecting it, I found a perfectly flat stretch of sand, where I began arranging the corals carefully.

Forming the letters that would spell out "I ❤️ YOU."

It was a beautiful sight. But I'm not done yet. I also decided to spell out my name.

I arrange the pieces of coral side by side to create my name.

Once everything was set, I stepped back to admire my artwork.

Does it look perfect? 🥰

After our camera was filled with memories, we then decided to get back to the crystal-clear water and create more moments and memories without being interrupted by our mobile devices.

We laugh and share stories, giggles, and bonds that made that day so special.

This Guinanayan island adventure is an unforgettable experience.

Until our next island destination... Buh-bye. 👋💗

Wow! The crystal clear waters and the peaceful surroundings make it a perfect place for nature lovers. Exploring the island must have been a rewarding experience.

Yes. You'll surely enjoy the place. It's a paradise-like resort. 🥰

Our family loves to explore beaches. I hope we can visit that place soon.😍

What a nice crystal clear beach water. It's been a while since i have not gone to the beach. The photos makes me wanna go back to some white islands. Great you enjoyed your day and it was special.

This is a sign that you plan your next beach escapade. 🥰 Especially it's getting hot day by day.

Such a joyful and beautiful adventure! You described your adventure so vividly. Just by looking at your photos makes me wanna go swimming in the vibrant blue ocean water. It is so amazing how the natural world can give us so much joy and peacefulness at the same time -- in a fast paced world, sometimes we forget this. I love that you ended the day simply being in the moment without distraction--just purely living the moment.

That's why every now and then we need to have a break from our daily living to enjoy nature and the beauty it gives. That will surely recharge us from our tiring routines.

That sounds like an absolutely magical trip! @mayt
Guinanayan Island looks like a paradise with its crystal-clear waters, beautiful landscapes, and perfect spots for photography. Your storytelling really brings the adventure to life—from the excitement of the boat ride to the joy of swimming, exploring, and capturing memories.

I love the creative touch of arranging corals to spell out I ❤️ YOU and your name! That’s such a sweet and artistic way to leave a personal mark on the moment.

What was your favorite part of the trip? And do you have another island in mind for your next adventure? 🌊📸

My favorite part of our island adventure is when we explore the island. There are a lot of beautiful hidden parts of the island that we only discover because we are strolling. Anyway, I think if I have a chance El Nido, Palawan is my next target. My sister went there last month, and so I have an idea of how beautiful the place is.

That'll be really cool
I haven't visited any though🙂😂

Have fun on your next visit to El Nido, Palawan
